15 Transactions For Week 2

Add Jake Locker

In the offseason, I noted that Jake Locker could be an underrated fantasy football asset. No, I’m not referencing that to pat myself on the back after his solid 20-point Week 1. Rather, it’s to show that his opening week performance wasn’t necessarily unlikely.

The Titans offense was underrated last year according to our metrics, ranking 12th when adjusted for strength of schedule. Though Locker wasn’t under center for a lot of the season, when he did play, he performed at the same level as Jay Cutler on a per drop back basis. Not bad.

His weapons are young and talented, and he’s got a matchup this week against the Cowboys, who won’t be able to stop a thing this season given their injuries and lack of depth. Locker’s the perfect streaming quarterback for Week 2, and he may have more season-long value than folks think.
